DescriptionSummertime is a wonderful time for adventurous and playful practice. And this summer you are invited to join us for a weekend retreat of playful practice at the lovely Heathen Hill. We will venture into new territory by bringing curiosity, a sense of adventure, and a fresh approach to our practice of yoga.
This workshop is for intermediate or higher level students who are interested in practicing deeply, wholeheartedly, with the intention of uncovering the learner (and teacher) within themselves.
We will have plenty of time to explore the integration of asana, pranayama and yoga philosophy in our practices.
